Nanotech, the manipulation of matter on an atomic and molecular scale, is an innovative technology—but how does it affect our daily lives? Nanotech has been utilized to alleviate global problems we currently face, such as cutting-edge cancer treatments, water purification, and increased efficiency in energy technology. What future developments can we expect from this high-tech research? Join nanotechnology experts from Germany and North America as they discuss its current impact in the fields of energy, electronics, medicine, and science. Our panel will also address nanotechnology’s application in the business sphere, bridging the gap between research and development.

Following the discussion, join us for the opening reception of the “NanoArt” exhibition, a series that features nano images from laboratories at the Center for Nanointegration Duisburg-Essen (CeNIDE), the Nanosystems Initiative Munich (NIM), the Center for NanoScience (CeNS), the University Alliance Metropolis Ruhr, the Leibniz Institute for Analytical Sciences (ISAS e.V.), and the Max-Planck-Gesellschaft.

Welcome remarks by:

Dr. Oliver Schnakenberg, Deputy Consul General, Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany in New York
